I said before and I say again, the war is over. The President was right when he said the war is over. The military force is not there. We are fighting terrorism, not just in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are also fighting it around the world, even at home. How many of us have had to stand in longer lines this morning because there is a greater threat right here at home? This bill is being passed because we are fighting a war against terrorists and terrorism everywhere. It is absolutely necessary that this money get to the people who are right now at the greatest risk of harm, those who are trying to help Iraq recover, form a new government and be able to defend themselves and be able to go on to a new life, really to be a new credible force in the Middle East, of people who form their own government and people who plan their own future. I am pleased to associate myself with all those who supported what the President has done. I believe it was right and I think history will show it was right.

I am the best Democrat to go forward. I am the only person in this race who has won tough primaries multiple times. You know, running with the Michigan grit, resilience and determination.
